Flock is a web browser that's based on Mozilla. But what really makes it stand out is the integration with social networking services including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Flickr, and YouTube. Flock 2.5 is out today, and it adds enhanced features for Twitter and Facebook, including:
- Read Twitter replies (err... @mentions) in the Flock sidebar
- Save Twitter searches
- Take actions like replying or clicking on Twitter links from the sidebar
- Use Facebook chat from any web page
- Drag and drop web content into the Facebook chat box to share it
There's also a new feature called FlockCast so that when you post a tweet, set your MySpace status, write a blog post, or upload pictures to Flickr, you can click a button to automatically post those actions to Facebook as well.

@Ji: I can assure you that our browser has been checked by the vets and toilet trained.

It's good to see Evan prepping up the new release. ;)
I basically think it's great.

Flock is certainly a decent offering Brad, but how many people really want to change browsers? We'd invite you to test the new Yoono... get all the social features of Flock but keep using Firefox or IE. Much simpler and safer.
